April 11th marked the 19th birthday of a certain Joshua Richard Neilson. So we celebrated like any family would for their 19 year old loved one. I'd say we hit a home run.

(I included a really high quality video of the birthday chaos)

Sibs on the weekend

Joshua Richard spent the day with his big sisters (minus Sarah). He even whipped out his
MANLY skills when Amy's car got stuck, and saved the day before it even started.
Plus, who doesn't love a Seattle day with stops at famous yummy eats?!

Top pot donuts

Also: I LOVE HIM.
and bonus: tomorrow is his 19th birthday. So let the Neilson part-ay begin!

This gal, Elsie at beautiful mess blog who frequently posts fun d.i.y projects - has done it again with a fabulous idea to make your very own pinhole camera! check out her tutorial here.
I plan on trying it out myself. Seems like a swell father daughter project.


It's right up my alley.

color and treats and love and real life

GIVE ME YOUR HAND
Aaron Strumpel

"Give me your hand and we'll walk, walk down together
Lift up your hands and we'll sing, sing here together

How good it is to know you God, How lovely is... your Bride
How blessed we are... to have... each other
You hold us all close...by your side

Come with me now and we'll dance, dance here together
Lift up your heart and we'll dream, dream here together

There's none to poor, too dirty, too broken
Too naked, too stupid, too drunken, to be

Thrown outside His love."

HAPPY EASTER. What a wonder.

Maybe some sun will do me good
